sussex win by 2 runs by d/L method

 

[vegster]

great result, but. what a complete joke about the way it was obtained ?

 

[Mackenzie]

We've won, but I don't think that we'll get away with that without some sort of objection fron Kent.

I'll take the win against those pikey twats though

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Assuming that Hampshire beat Essex ...

Duckworth-Lewis > Home

Kent knew what score they would need after each over. That's why they chose to bat 2nd, so I'd say they f***ed it up bigtime

Was a pretty tense last 3 overs the crowd seemed to know what was going on,even the paraletic ones,i cant understand why kent just didnt blast away but hey ho they buggered it up big time,good chance of getting through to the quarters now so well done lads n sir dawayne

 

[Giraffe]

Top work by Yardy. Kent can grumble but frankly they were favourites to win on the D/L They knew exactly what they had to do and didn't do it.

Come on Sussex!!!!!!!

 

[Hiney]

Kent really f***ed that up. They seemed to be content with staying 1 or 2 runs ahead of D/L but a wicket (which we didn't get) or a couple of good overs (which we did) would leave them in the shit.

Ha!!

Ha!!

At some point or other we had to turn to our fast bowlers as the trundler's would have been bowled out. Kent must have known that as soon as someone with a bit of pace came on, the umpires would call it off.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

The only argument they have for being unfairly treated would be ; The Umpires KNEW this would happen so it should have been a REDUCED 10 over slogfest.

But ; Who cares? We won.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

kent threw that away, f***ing idiots.

great call by yardy, saw the umpires talking and threw the ball to tucker, great captaincy.

agreed

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Total cock up by Kent - had all the cards stacked in their favour and they ballsed it up. And such a good night to be a Sussex boy in Kent!

This would definately have been the fairest way to do it but the only people who could argue that would have been us if we'd lost. There's no way they can argue it because if you offered any captain in the country their target with the likelyhood of no more than 10 or so overs every one would take it.

Kent f***ed up by pussy footing around, simple as

 

[Wardy]

Get in

 

[Trigger]

Kent knew the situation from the off, they won the toss, they choose to bat second, if they were unhappy at the time they should have spoke to the umpires beforehand, when like I said, they knew that situation could have happened...

On another note, DR Smith netted me another £50, 5/1 for top team batsman was a ridiculous price and it's the second time in a row it's come in! (They only do top team batsman on televised games)
